Configuration๏ƒ

This product can be freely customized through the web configuration tool (https://config.parkstool.com). To change functionality, you must use the web configuration tool to modify settings.

Output and Operation๏ƒ

This product supports various operation modes:

  • MIDI Normal Mode

  • MIDI Pitchbend Mode

  • MIDI Program Change Mode

  • MIDI Custom Mode

  • Keyboard Mode

  • Consumer Control Mode (volume control, etc.)

  • Mouse Mode

  • 14-bit CC Mode

  • 14-bit NRPN Mode

๐ŸŽน Operation Mode Description๏ƒ

1. MIDI Normal Mode๏ƒ

Encoders / Potentiometers: Send CC or Note On messages, with configurable MIDI channel and number. CC values or note velocity vary according to encoder or potentiometer position.

Keys: Send CC 127 or Note Velocity 127 values. Send 127 when pressed, 0 when released. These values can be set to custom values. This description covers general momentary mode, and toggle mode is also supported. To use toggle mode, check the corresponding checkbox.

2. MIDI Pitchbend Mode๏ƒ

Encoders / Potentiometers: Pitchbend values are transmitted when rotated.

Keys: Pitchbend values are not transmitted.

3. MIDI Program Change Mode๏ƒ

Encoders /Potentiometers: Send position-based Program Change messages.

Keys: Can send specified Program numbers.

4. MIDI Custom Mode๏ƒ

Encoders / Potentiometers: Can send different values depending on left/right rotation.

Keys: Various actions can be specified such as when pressed, when released, toggle operation, etc.

  • Supported messages: Note On/Off, CC, Program Change, Pitchbend, 14-bit NRPN

5. Keyboard / Consumer Control / Mouse Mode๏ƒ

A mode that can operate as a general keyboard, media keys (e.g., play/stop/volume), or mouse.

6. 14-bit CC Mode๏ƒ

  • A mode for high-resolution control that can transmit 14-bit (16384 steps) values from a single control.

  • Transmitted by combining MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Significant Byte) according to MIDI specification.

  • Supported by Encoders and Potentiometers, suitable for situations requiring precise mapping.

7. 14-bit NRPN Mode๏ƒ

NRPN control capability

  • For encoder or potentiometer products, NRPN values (MSB/LSB) are transmitted in real-time when users turn the knob.

  • Switch (key) type products can transmit NRPN messages by directly specifying value in the Web Configuration Tool.

  • Configuration method: Access the Web Configuration Tool, select โ€˜MIDI NRPN MODEโ€™, and specify NRPN MSB/LSB.

  • NRPN messages are suitable for high-resolution MIDI control and are supported by various DAWs and hardware.

๐Ÿ” Additional Bank Information๏ƒ

  • Banks can be switched using Encoders and Keys.

  • By default, 2 Banks are provided, and the number of Banks can be changed in the Global Variables tab of the Web Configuration Tool.

  • Encoders with physical detents are recommended for Bank switching.

  • When Bank Looping is enabled, it cycles from the last Bank back to the first Bank. Useful for single button devices.

  • Each Bank requires configuration before use.

  • Potentiometer products can also change banks. It is recommended to set other banks as bank features as well. Otherwise, after the bank changes, that element will no longer operate as bank change and will become general MIDI mode.

Mapping and User Settings๏ƒ

โœจ Basic Mapping Features๏ƒ

  • Keys, knobs, media keys, etc. can be freely mapped through the Web Configuration Tool.

  • When the product is connected and the configuration page is opened in a web browser, it is automatically recognized.
